My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1213

She looked up at Matthew. "You are fine with me keeping it?"

Matthew's voice was firm. "One should not dwell on the past but it does not mean you have to wipe out your past completely. Selina, you don't have to throw it away because of me."

"Aren't you jealous?"

"Silly, I am confident in my capabilities. Why would I be jealous?" Matthew gazed deeply into Selina's eyes. His maturity and good upbringing shone through his gentle words.

Selina could not help but hug Matthew tightly. "You're such an amazing person."

It was pleasant to cling onto his waist as Matthew was well-built.

However as she was hugging him, Selina suddenly thought of something.

She glanced up at him and pouted, "Matthew, you don't love me at all."

Matthew was flabbergasted. "Why would you say that?"

"Other boyfriends get jealous and become concerned when their partners are on good terms with their ex- boyfriends. But you don't seem to mind it at all," Selina explained with a frown.

She remembered reading a forum post about a lady complaining about her boyfriend, who kept probing into the details of her previous relationship with her ex.

At that time, those who responded to the post defended the boyfriend by saying that it was because he cared about her.

On the other hand, Matthew had never asked anything about her relationship with Dylan. Did it mean that he did not care about her?

Selina felt nervous at what she would hear.

Matthew looked at her meaningfully. "Selina, if I keep pestering you about it, wouldn't you be annoyed?"

Selina gave it some thought and nodded honestly. "Yes, I would."

Given her personality, she would definitely be annoyed to death if Matthew kept asking about her previous relationship with Dylan.

"Well, will you be unhappy if I asked you to throw away the pendant?"

Selina hesitated for a moment.

"Do you want me to say the truth?"

"Yes." "But the answer might offend you."

"It's fine. I still prefer to know the truth."

Selina decided to be brutally honest. "Yes, I'll be unhappy."

It was not because of any lingering feelings for Dylan.

It was because Selina knew that this pendant was not a romantic gesture, but a gift from Dylan with pure intentions.

She just felt that it might be mean to throw a gift away.

On the other hand, she felt that Matthew's feelings would be hurt if she insisted on keeping the pendant.

Selina quickly added, "Of course, I will only be a little unhappy. I can throw it away immediately if you want me to. Your feelings are the most important! Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to tell you everything."

Matthew's eyes lit up with delight at her words, even though he had some sadness in his eyes.

It made him feel that everything he'd done for Selina was worth it.

His gaze interlocked with Selina's. "The reason that I don't ask about it is not because I don't care about you. On the contrary, I care too much for you that I won't do anything to upset you. Everything I do is to make you happy. Do you understand me now that I have explained myself clearly?"

Selina was instantly enlightened.

Her heart pounded hard in her chest.

She got misty-eyed. "I understand now. Matthew, you are so good to me."

Matthew kissed Selina's forehead. "Don't think too much about it. Dylan will definitely find his own happiness. He has always been a sensible person and I trust that he will move on with time."

Selina nodded hard in agreement. "Yes, if I can find my own happiness, he will too."

All of a sudden, her troubles and worries vanished.

Selina smiled. "Matthew, I think we can go back now. After talking about it, I feel much better."

"Sure, let's go."

When she got in the car, she suddenly thought of asking a question regarding Dylan.

"By the way, is Reid really Dylan's father?"

At her question, Matthew's face became a little tense.
